BIP Presentation given at 2008 UKOUG Conference

Oracle BI publisher is possibly the richest new piece of functionality in E-Business Suite and possibly the easiest to implement. It means you can forget the text based reports you have been struggling with and delight your users with clean attractively formatted documents and spreadsheets. This presentation will cover the steps to building and customising great XML output. I will demonstrate how to:

• implement the templates which already exist in your system
• convert GL reports to produce clean MS Excel output
• build templates to create documents and spreadsheets (such as dunning letters, customer open balance letters, remittance advices and listings).
• include tables, logos, pictures, headers and footers, first and last page only content, and conditional statements (e.g. if..then).

There will be a few minutes at the end for questions, or for other attendees to share what they have done to create great output with XML publisher.
